If you have v. 6 of Mathematica, the function "diagonal" should help you out;
to get a list of the elements you want, try
Diagonal[s, #]&/@Range[-(Length@s) + 1, 0]
Of course, if you want these elements on the same level in your dOneCol,
Flatten@Diagonal[s, #]&/@Range[-(Length@s) + 1, 0]
If you have an earlier version, you could try something like the following
(which I haven't optimized for different types of lists or anything, but
should work for matrix arguments):
takeLowerLeft[mat_]:=Take[mat, {2, Length@mat}, {1, Length@mat - 1}]
snagDiags[mat_] := mat[[#, #]] & /@ Range[Length[mat]]
snagDiags /@ NestList[ takeLowerLeft, dOneCol, Length[dOneCol] -1 ]
Flatten@%
Hope that helps!
